Hi all,
Check out "
The Home Life of Pádraig Pearse: as told by himself, his family and friends", 1934, Mercier Press, ISBN 0853425817 - edited by Mary Brigid Pearse.
The first few pages outline Pearse's genealogy back to his g-g-grandfather, Walter Brady... "
...great-great-grandfather, Walter Brady of Nobber in the County Meath, a Cavanman by origin. He fought in '98, and one of his brothers was hanged by the Yeos; another lies buried in the Croppy's Grave at Tara..."
Walter Brady had a son, also named Walter Brady, who married Margaret O'Connor. They had a sons Philip (and on to Seery et al), and Padraig (and on to Pearse et al).
Cheers,
